We don't bake cost of proper disposal into materials, that is why plastic is so cheap. The Chinese manufacture the stuff like crazy and ships it all of SEA. Rural communities dump it into their rivers and all of that washes out into th

Keep in mind: republicans are low information voters, and additionally they tend to be single issue voters. So 99% of them probably don't care about this particular thing. They care about abortion, or "corruption", or welfare

Pensions are robbing the younger generation of the opportunity to flourish. It is INSANITY. In a lot of cities the pension liability for retired police and teachers is higher than the actual CURRENT budget of WORKING professionals. It is an

The Russians are stealing their rare and valuable resources so they can gouge our long term allies. Trillions of dollars in essential rare earth materials and natural gas isn't worth fighting for? Then why EVER go to war?

I dont think this is true. We're not given the choice for alternatives. Corporations value profit over good stewardship.

If our society had half a brain we would be banning as much single use plastic as possible, replacing it with whatever is appropriate. "But it's expensive!" Yes. Properly disposing of waste costs money. The dirty secret is th

we've banned gifts for adults and we just go out to eat anymore. We don't need the junk and we are sick of stressing out about buying gifts.

they just want cheap h1b workers they can treat like slaves, that is all any of these capitalists want

DEI has so little effect on hiring. I'm much more concerned about H1B for cheaper work. It's a total non-issue.

An annoying person with a terrible idea is a powerful force at a tech company. Nobody wants to deal with them, so they just kinda get what they want as long as they are mostly harmless.

If we can get fully autonomous public transit by driving slower, but it eliminates traffic, I think that is an absolute win.

Doing anything about the obesity epidemic has the same issue as 99% of our problems: People are getting rich off of selling cheap nasty food. You think a politician is going to go after billion dollar industries? Get real. It is a class iss

other countries did social distancing and got it out of the way much faster. We drug it out for years due to incompetence.

Give me a break lmao no it's not. it is because our schools are underfunded and our people have gone through multiple massive market contractions. We don't put enough money into our schools. Our teachers are incredibly overworked

The Intel story is very simple folks: they spent all of their cash on stock purchases instead of upgrading equipment.

Having done both: running a small Kubernetes cluster is simpler than managing a bunch of systemd files.

Start-ups that don't need to scale will quickly go away, because how else are you going to make a profit? How have you been going since 2005 and still not understand the economics of software?

are we really still doing this lol? >> Kubernetes is feature-rich, yet these “enterprise” capabilities turned even simple tasks into protracted processes. I don't agree. After learning the basics I would never go back. It doesn&#

Look into the Chinese identification systems associated with internet access to see where this leads. It isn't good.

Yeah I would be 100% for that, honestly. I'm not a big anti-adult content person, I don't think it is a big deal. Cockfighting and dogfighting used to be popular pass-times. People used to take their whole family down to the publ

Yes clearly ISPs, OSs, and everyone involved who is making money should provide easier and better tools for protecting kids from adult content. But a state mandated thing associated with my ID is... iffy. People have perfectly good reasons
